What is Sammy Sosa Doing Now?

After his retirement, Sammy Sosa disappeared from the public limelight to set up a multi-national business empire.

During a 2018 interview with Sports Illustrated, Sosa refused to detail his business dealings but gave the publication the following description of his business interests:

“Although he won’t provide many verifiable details, he says he has interests in his home country, the Dominican Republic (oil); as well as in Panama (storm-proof housing); the U.K. (beverages and hospitality); and the United Arab Emirates (real estate).”

On June 3, 2009, Sosa announced his intention to retire from baseball. He announced the Dominican Republic and said that he was calmly looking forward to his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame since his statistics were up to par.
